Luckaminnies' Oo - David Ward by High Heels and Horse Hair published on 2015-08-07T21:11:30Z Lukkaminnie's Oo or 'Grannie's Wool' is the Shetland name for Bog Cotton or Cotton Grass. For this piece, we might imagine ourselves on a rather boggy, island moor in high summer, with white tufts of bog cotton all around. It is a calm and sunny day, and because of the bright sun there are, for the moment, only a few active midges. Suddenly one of those strange, miniature whirlwinds, which occur from time to time in such places, rushes past. Then we return to the previous atmospheric calm.
